Chapter 159: Yandere and the Curse Ring

- "The Stone Statue Act for a Period".

Alongside the Infinite Corridor Seizure Act, it eliminates the famous NPC in Cat Ear Cat.

Truth is, I didn't even think I could totally shake Leila off just by removing The Eye of Heaven.

No, I wish I had, but when I decided to visit the Arken family, I can't deny that the deletion of "Heavenly Eyes" and another purpose had caught my head.

Another aim is the acquisition of the final weapon against the NPC, the 'Pledge of Immortality'.

There are naturally a wide variety of state anomalies in 'cat ear cats' that focus only on troubling players.

"Impairment" with halved talent value, "shadow-bound" with inability to move, or "restraint" with inability to act other than to move in reverse.

There are a variety of other condition abnormalities, such as poison, paralysis, sleep, and confusion familiar with RPG, all of which can be solved over time.

Petrification, which is said to be the hardest to heal, almost certainly heals naturally if left on boulders for more than a dozen minutes.

It means that a state anomaly is never something that works permanently.

However, there are exceptions.

The Pledge of Immortality, which I got at the Arken family.

Only when wearing this ring, the condition anomaly will not heal.

In other words, if you can make your opponent put on an 'Immortality Vow', you can turn a state anomaly into a permanent effect.

Of course, you can't wear gear on monsters or hostile NPCs, so there are only a few opponents you can use, but this "Immortality Vow" + state anomaly combo is really powerful.

It doesn't matter if you put on an 'Immortality Vow', even if you're a character with high unusual resistance like Mitsuki.

With a hundred percent chance of the anomaly going through, you can definitely erase that character by simply throwing paralysis and poison potions that are readily available, for example, in Ramric.

If you just kill your opponent that way, at the same time as the death of your opponent character, the 'Immortality Pledge' will disappear, and various disadvantages can arise when NPC dies.

That's where the "Stone Statue for a Period" gained popularity, taking away only the character's freedom because of the abnormal state of petrification.

Without petrification, you can substitute with sleep and paralysis, but anyway, it is fundamental to this technique that you permanently render inactive the person who made you wear the 'pledge of immortality' and leave them somewhere.

This will not hurt your chest more than kill you, and because your cursed gear can be removed in church, it also has the advantage that 'The Pledge of Immortality' will not be disposable.

"If I were to use it, I knew it would be petrified"

After using paralysis and sleep, I starved to death without knowing, then I can't laugh.

Some hands use restraint to restrict action only, but it will be extra hard for you to be conscious, and so you say, 'Death to the rumors!!' I don't know if I can prevent it.

If you're petrified, you don't have to worry about that, and the proficiency of the local attributes has been raised in Shishaw, so you can do it as soon as you use petrified magic.

I can, but......

"- Um, Mr. Soma"

In a voice rang from behind, I reflexively hid my hand with the ring on my back.

"Ena. What's the matter with you?

When she fixed her smile with her back hand and asked, Ena shook her head with a non-floating face.

"Oh, I'm sorry I jammed every thought. Nothing, it's not like I need anything.

I'm just a little worried about Mr. Soma... "

Somehow, I was horrified.

I thought I was depressed, and he just came to see how it went.

"Well, I'm sorry. But I'm fine.... What happened to everyone?

When asked, Ena shook her head sideways again.

"... nothing. Guys, I don't know what to do."

Ena's face, who speaks that way, is also dark.

Maybe the situation is more serious than I think.

Even more so, it wasn't if you were worried that you couldn't grow Deathbringer.

... blah blah blah, I don't even know if it has that selling value on it, and the performance is subtle now.

There's not much benefit in increasing it either, but I can tell you it's the sad sexuality of gamers to learn to romance the word infinite growth.

"Oh, you know, soma,"

Ena has stepped into me to see if I've stirred up anxiety when I've been silent.

Ena's moist eyes are coming at me.

"... it's okay, right?

Words that are unspecific and clumsy.

I felt Ena's anxiety there, and I made her laugh to look as reliable as I could.

"You bet. I've gotten through all this, and I've got a few things on my mind."

"Is it true!?

... lying.

Some, not so much.

I still answered lightly so as not to disturb Ena any more.

"Oh. 'Death to the rumors!!' The measures change depending on what's happening systematically, but whatever.

If you can't come up with a good solution right away, just use The Stone Statue for a while... "

I regretted that I said it and slipped my teasing mouth, but it was a little late.

Though I have no memory in between, by the curse of the Demon King, that was not the dialogue I would say to Ena, who was made like a stone statue.

"For a long time, let's...?

From Ena's mouth, those words spill small.

I'm glad you listened to me, but I seem to have clearly made you aware.

"Well, it's time to back off.

Everybody must be bored. "

I dare to push Ena's shoulder and try to stay in the room.

"Please wait. What was that earlier..."

"Look, let's go -"

Still pushing Ena's back worrying about what I said earlier, I think.

Indeed, with the "Stone Statue for a Time" method, that solves all the problems.

- But what's the difference between the blessing of the Demon King, who took Ena's freedom?

I hid my feelings from sunshine and went back to Leila's waiting room.

The next moment I walked into the room thinking about trying, my feet stopped in that unusual air.

I frowned unexpectedly, and before me like that, Leila walked in with a resolute expression.

Once, pull and tie your lips, then open your mouth.

"Oh, you know, Soma. I knew I'd get out of here."

I was flabbergasted by that dialogue.

I didn't expect her to make a statement away from me when she even called me Death Stalker.

Return words in advance.

"Ma, wait! You've been struggling to come see me, haven't you?

And yet it's so light... "

"It's not light."

With her tearful crooked face, Leila gave her a painful smile.

"Mr. Mitsuki told me. If you hit my knife, you could be dead.

... me, you know. I like you. Most of all, I like it.

That's why I don't want to think that you might die.

I hate that you can't be around, but if that puts you in danger, I'd rather not. "

Leila keeps talking to me with a sad smile on her face when I can't return the words satisfactorily.

"I never thought I'd want to kill you.

But when I see you getting along with someone, my head turns white.

Then my body moves out on its own...... I really can't stop it.

Stop screaming in your heart, no matter what you do... "

"Leila......"

That's the force of the event.

Even though I didn't think it was Leila's fault, I didn't have the time to tell her that.

And that's when I finally understood.

She's no longer like Layla in the game called Death Stalker.

He said he had a different personality, another person.

She keeps spitting words blaming herself with tears in her eyes.

"Wow, I didn't know I was such a person.

I'm sorry. Really, I'm sorry, Soma.

But I'll never see you again, so... "

"- To that extent, you're short."

It was Mitsuki's voice, equipped with cold force, that cut off the words of the grieving Leila.

"Fuckin '...?

Mitsuki says coldly to Leila, who looks back at her frightened face.

"Even if you were far away, nothing would be solved unless your feelings changed.

Can you guarantee that while you're far away, you'll never remember us and never be driven by jealousy?

"That, is..."

That's right.

If you are jealous, Leila says, 'Death to the rumors!! Activate'.

If you get away from me, that frequency may go down, but it may be more troublesome or unpredictable than the timing and the behavior from it.

"Wah, I, am... Then it was, la..."

In the fluttering eyes of Leila dwells the starved light.

A swinging gaze was set on Deathbringer, who lay on his hips.

Leila's hand stretches out to the flutter and the knife.

(No way, suicide!?

I try hard to stop, but before that, Mitsuki's words hit Layla.

"Ho. Do you choose to die? But don't you think he'd be bothered if you died now?

The people of the city doubt your death and his relationship, and he will feel responsible for your death.

Choosing death there is an entirely selfish choice. "

Its hilarious Mitsuki words sew up Leila's movements too accurately.

In the end, the words became todomy.

"Well... Then I'm, how do I..."

Layla, who has lost all hope, breaks her knees disappointingly.

"Mitsuki!

When I accidentally stuffed Mitsuki, she scoffed and knocked her cat ear down to the side.

And with so much voice that I can only hear you, whisper.

"I've finished my meal. Now she's bound to ride whatever unscrupulous suggestions you make."

I opened my eyes to unexpected words.

To me like that, Mitsuki tells me with a gentle and cold looking expression.

"Do you have a plan? That's what he looked like when he came into the room."

"Mitsuki, you..."

Did you deliberately push Leila for me?

But that doesn't fit with the image of Mitsuki, the righteous man.

To my gaze of doubt, Mitsuki slipped her gaze slightly.

"I always preach reason to you greatly... but I really don't want to lose you.

And for that, I don't want to get my hands dirty. "

Mitsuki quickly flipped herself while I was taking a hack at the words I stepped further into.

"... we'll take it off now"

And when he looks at us and grabs and lifts Kuma's root, which he was laughing at, he leaves the room with no hesitation.

"... Iko"

"Oh, uh..."

Later, he takes the confused ena and leaves the room with the apple as well.

That left only me and Leila sitting on the floor in the room.

(... have to do it)

After what happened here, I finally decided to be ready, too.

Anyway, I can't maintain the status quo forever, and now there's no other name for it than this.

Then we'll have to move on.

"... Leila"

I'm gonna sit back. I'm gonna try to gaze at Layla, and I'm gonna crouch in.

And to sound as gentle as I could, I picked a word to talk to.

"Actually, just now, for one thing, I came up with a way that Leila might be able to stay in this house.

I think Leila will feel a little cramped, but if this goes well, I don't think Leila will ever kill me again "

I'll tell you a little lie, and I'll tell you so.

But to Leila, especially now, Leila wouldn't know that.

Leila, who had found hope in my words, raised her face to shrink.

"Honestly?

"... oh"

There was still a little bit to nod to that faint voice.

But on the face of it, when I shake my head flat, I send Leila my gaze, like, "What are we gonna do?"

"Ya do it! Let me do it! What am I supposed to do?

Leila ate sadly quickly.

Feeling a small, chest ache in that fact, I explain it only under the guise of calm.

"It's easy. I just need you to put something on my finger."

So I took that thing out of my bag (...).

"That,...?

I probably felt uneasy about that black and disastrous design.

Only for a moment did Leila look like she had shrugged herself.

But before I utter the words of follow-up, he turns back on me with a strong willed eye.

I'm going to be more frightened by a stronger glance than I imagined.

"... put your left hand out"

In such a way as to take root, I turned away and demanded it briefly instead.

"Yes."

Layla reaches out honestly.

It was more luxurious than I imagined and had thinner hands.

I took that hand with a slightly trembling hand...

"- Doubt it, don't you?

Unexpectedly, I was leaking those words out of my mouth.

"... Huh?

Leila, who makes a face that she doesn't know what she was told, is irrational but irritating.

"I cheated on you once before.

You don't think it's weird to wear something like this all of a sudden for no reason?

Even as I continued my words, Leila was still decent, but eventually she gave me a much smaller grin.

"- It doesn't matter. Because what makes you happy is my happiness."

It's been a long time since my chills have transmitted my spine.

I mean, even if I'm being deceived, Leila says that's fine if that's what makes me happy.

For some reason it scares me, and I purposefully exaggerate.

"... may I say that this is the cursed ring of darkness that will afflict you forever from now on?

"Yeah."

Still, Leila nodded without hesitation.

On the contrary, he even protruded his extended left hand, urging him to do so.

(Right...)

Leila, called Death Stalker, is gone.

But just as passionate as that, Leila still has it in her.

It's all because I did such an operation on my own...

- Don't look at me like that.

Leila's hand reached out to the lid and wrapped mine.

"You saved me from being alone for the rest of my life.

That's all I was happy about. "

"Oh no..."

I almost remembered that a knight who tried to approach Leila on the orders of Maki was not even dealt with.

It may be true that I was none other than me with the knowledge and correction of the game to be able to relate to her with my closed heart.

... I saved her.

Results theory, but what I did, can I even say it that way, too?

"Yes, but. I need to get close to you in order to get the magic book of the ruins..."

"But I was glad to hear it and think I needed it for the first time.

When you helped me behind the ruins, I was thrilled, and besides my father, it was so much fun for me to be interested in talking about the ruins for the first time. "

Layla's there, with a beautiful, really beautiful smile.

"There's nothing wrong with you being sick. So... right?

Her hand leaves me once and is offered to me again.

"Leila......"

How can I reward this thought with readiness?

I only knew one way to do this.

"Fix it, huh?

My stomach is totally set.

Still proclaim it short, scold your trembling fingers, and push it forward.

"......"

Leila's voice to be leaked.

That's how that black ring with a boneless design that doesn't look good on Leila was pushed into her left hand......

"- Dame yee yee yee!!

At that moment, the van, and the door opened to burst from the outside, from which something jumped in like a bullet.

"Become! Go -"

I didn't have time to say anything.

The brown bullet tore my body apart from my own and pulled it down to the ground with too much momentum.

"No! Mr. Soma! Oh, no, absolutely not!

"Hey, Ena! So all of a sudden..."

The brown bullet that was good for me, Ena, shouted in tears as she held my shoulder down with strong force.

"I remember Kuma and I realized it!

Mr. Soma said, "What is the Stone Statue Act for a Period?"

"That, is..."

I lost sight of the ease.

Again, such regret looms in my chest that I shouldn't have told Ena.

"No, you can't! Mr. Soma, absolutely, I regret it!

Not yet, it's too soon to decide! Me and everyone, I'll do anything I can!

So, so a little more... "

And I was just about to say that Ena.

"- Drizzle,"

Above Ena, from beyond its body, a small voice was heard.

"Layla?"

"Layla,?

They both look up at the same time.

There was Leila who was still trying to pull out the knife.

(Shit! This posture!!

This appearance of the two of us falling to the ground would be enough to incite Leila's jealousy.

Besides, in this position......

"Run, Ena!

"Mr. Soma!

Finally, when I saw the knife pulled out, me and Ena moved at the same time.

I try to get Ena away reflexively, and on the contrary, Ena tries to cover me up to cover me, and the two moves bump into each other.

"Yikes!

The collision was for a moment, and in the end I won it with strong power.

However, Ena's evacuation is only marginally delayed because of Ena's resistance.

"- Huh!"

Deathbringer's blow, unleashed at an unforgiving rate, rips Ena's clothes sleeve off and approaches me.

I looked at it like a slow motion.

"......"

At the last moment, a dumb exhale leaked out of my mouth, I felt it.

By the time I returned it, the blade was almost in front of me, and I could avoid or prevent it anymore...

"- Mr. Soma!!!!

Shut your ears, Ena screams.

But then, Leila's knife ruthlessly hit my peeling hand...

"... ha. Seriously, I'm scared!

- Still, I exhaled deeply, making sure the immediate death effect didn't activate.

I thought I'd really die just this time.

Along the way, I thought I was going to be able to see Death Bringer slit Ena's clothes (...), but honestly it was the view that the success rate of this measure was about five fifths.

I can only say that this was really, lucky.

"Huh? Soma,? What, huh?

Ena gives a strange voice.

I'm glad I'm safe, but I don't know how this happened.

He looked like that.

I sigh at the way it always is when I say it's what it always is.

Slowly, I'll explain it to you to shatter.

"Weapons can't be systematically equipped with two different hands."

"Heh? What are you talking about?

Sigh again to the ill-conceived Ena.

"Ena, calm down and look at Leila's left hand."

"Left hand...? Ah, ah!!

Return to me, decent, Leila's left hand.

There was a piece of equipment that I had just fitted into her, which I bought at the weapons store this afternoon, "The Cursed and Dark Ring," and a black knuckle.
